simple scientific graphs. It is intended for making graphical images of
publication quality with minimum effort on the part of the user.

PLplot
is a library of functions that
are useful for making scientific plots. PLplot can be called from C, C++,
FORTRAN, Python and Tcl. The PLplot library can be used to create standard
x-y plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D plots, mesh
plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different
sizes) may be placed on a single page with multiple lines in each graph.
There are almost 2000 characters in the extended character set. This includes
four different fonts, the Greek alphabet and a host of mathematical, musical,
and other symbols. A variety of output devices are supported and new devices
can be easily added by writing a small number of device dependent routines.
PLplot is free software primarily licensed under the LGPL.

pro
Fit is a Macintosh (Mac OS) application
for data/function analysis, plotting, and curve fitting. It is used by
scientists and engineers to analyze their measurements and the mathematical
models they use to describe them.

SciFont is a
character set source library which provides Fortran users with fourteen
different character sets that are based on an extended version of the
National Bureau of Standards Hershey Occidental Font System and Graphics
Symbols. These source data files are included in SciFont, together with
formatting programs for the modification of fonts or the creation of new
fonts.

SciPlot
is a scientific vector based plotting library that provides Fortran users
a set of graphics functions to create publication quality graphics for
engineering or scientific applications. Graphs can be generated interactively
on a color display. Hardcopy can be produced on HP LaserJets, HP DeskJets,
Postscript printers, HP pen plotters, or dot matrix printers. SciPlot
can produce five types of export files (WPG, CGM, HPGL, EPS, or PS) which
can be included as graphics figures in word processing documents.

Winteracter
is a Fortran 9x GUI and graphics suite for Windows and Linux/Unix platforms.
Create a modern user interface using GUI features based on native Windows
or Motif components. An extensive set of visual tools simplify the design
process. A comprehensive graphics library is also included.

GINOprovides
a complete development environmentfor
creating feature-rich applications containing a highly interactive
User Interface and professional 3D graphics. It is available in a
choice of configurations to suit a variety of application needs giving
you the necessary tools to produce royalty-free programs on-budget
and on-time.

Visual
BASIC and Visual C++ are popular development environments from Microsoft
which include comprehensive GUI development suites. Absoft Fortran development
kits for Windows can create DLLs which are compatible with these languages.
